Hey Everyone,

I'm having a weird graphical issue whenever I create a shortcut to my desktop via the "Send To -> Desktop (create shortcut)". Here is what it looks like:


Shortcuts work fine and everything ... it's just the glitchy look that's bothering me. Does anyone have any ideas?

You can either right click, select properties. Choose change icon and browse to its location and choose it there or select a different icon. Or try to rebuild your icon cache. Thanks
